OHMission
We are a Heavy Metal group named OHMission that live just outside of chicago.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band started taking form in the summer of 2005 and is still going on today. The lineup has changed a few times and the band has had to hire and fire people a few times. The band first began gigging recently but no big break yet.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have just recently started playing a few shows. We did a battle of the bands at gand and are now preparing for shows outside of that. We have done some networking with other bands and it looks as though we will have some more shows very soon. Stay on the lookout for our upcoming shows.
